If a user is unable to view an image for any reason (such as a sluggish connection, an error in the src element, or if they are using a screen reader), the alt attribute gives alternative information for the image.

There are a number of crucial benefits of using image alt tags:

To tell search engines what the image is about. It is great for SEO.
In case the image fails to load, the alt text will appear to users.
If visually impaired people are browsing a page, the screen reader will speak the alt text. It helps them to better understand that there is an image and what it is about.

Alt tags provide textual descriptions of images for users who cannot see them, such as those using screen readers or individuals with visual impairments. These descriptions help them understand the content and context of the image.

The "alt" attribute, or alt text, is used for images in HTML to provide alternative text descriptions for visually impaired users or in situations where the image cannot be displayed.

Using alt tags for images is important because they provide text descriptions for images on a webpage, making them accessible to visually impaired users and helping with SEO by providing context to search engines.
